Abstract
A patient who was studied for portal hypertension had an enlarged live r and multiple hepatic cysts on abdominal CT scan. He underwent hepato billary scintigraphy using Tc-99m mebrofenin which documented communic ation of the cysts with the main biliary tree and allowed a noninvasiv e diagnosis of Caroli syndrome associated with congenital hepatic fibr osis.
